Case: DWI and Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance
Attorney: Nicole A. Kettwick
Result: Nicole’s client was pulled over by the police after driving home from work late one night in Anoka County. Upon her arrest for a DWI, the officers searched her car and found marijuana brownies and prescription medications for someone else. Nicole’s client then faced Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance and Gross Misdemeanor DWI charges. As Nicole’s client had a family and risked losing time with her daughter with these charges, Nicole challenged the legality of the stop of her client’s car. After a judge ruled that the stop by the police violated Nicole’s client’s 4th amendment rights, all the evidence after the stop was inadmissible for the coming trial. This led the prosecutor to dismiss all the charges and allowed Nicole’s client to move on from this tough time in her life without a conviction on her record. She also filed an Implied Consent Challenge/Petition for judicial review after the State revoked her driver’s license. Nicole ultimately won this case on the same issue and her client avoided a DWI on her driving record and she was able to get her license back.
